**Who we are**

Hola

We send nearly two million people on holiday every year (not together) and were expecting to get to three million pretty sharpish. Why? Because were the only holiday company who truly gets why going on your jollies is the most wonderful time of the year.

With our market-leading offers, scalable, flexible and innovative technology, strong customer-value proposition and low cost base, were challenging existing players and redefining how customers book, manage and experience their holidays.

On the Beach Group plc is one of the UK's largest online beach holiday retailers, with significant opportunities for growth so our storys only really just begun

We're on the lookout for talented, beach-loving people to join us and contribute to the next chapter of our story.

You will get to work on interesting projects and will be given the tools and autonomy to have the chance to make your impact on our growth plans.

We're a down to earth and friendly bunch, with little bureaucracy or hierarchy, and whilst we may have grown in size, we've not lost our entrepreneurial spirit. It's in our DNA.
